We’ll have 12 slots, capped at 3 minutes each, available on a first-come-first-served basis for the opporutnity to give a live demonstration, be it showing off a quick-change rig, sharing some lighting looks, or playing a favorite composition.
There will be:

- A projector w/ an HDMI cable. (And a USB-C adaptor to plug into your computer if needed)
